The tank
was out of the car when
I got it. I decided to
put a center mount fuel
filler neck and cap from
a Triumph TR-3. I welded
shut the side filler
tube and cut a hole in
the top center of the
tank and re welded the
filler tube in the
center. (always fill the
tank with water when
welding on a gas tank -
DUH). I fabricated a gas
tank mount like I had
seen used on the
Bradley's and bolted it
in to the sides and the
fiberglass body at the
front center.
I made a
rotisserie to spin the
tank. It was full of
rust so I bought a
POR 15 Fuel Tank Repair
Kit from Eastwood
and completely re-did my
tank and used the epoxy
seal inside. Great
Stuff!
I
remounted the gas tank
and bolted two vertical
straps bolted to the top
and to the mount I had
made. I threaded the
holes in the mount to
fit 1/4 -20 bolts. It
works just fine. I added
a VDO fuel sending unit
into the tank and
attached the filler cap
and spout with hose
clamps and 1 1/2" fuel
hose.
